Bushfires

Australia's
bushfires are believed to have spewed as much as two-thirds of the
nation's annual carbon dioxide emissions in just the past three months,

Scott Morrison, here's what you should do in 2020 to show leadership
Slogans mask a shallowness of leadership skills and strategic thinking. Neither Donald Trump nor Boris Johnson should be your role model. Remember Malcolm Turnbull failed to deliver the “better government” that he promised on seizing the leadership. The die is already cast on your government and, if you continue as you have been doing, time will not be your friend. Ultimately, you will be judged on authenticity and policy outcomes – on genuine leadership.
Given your hang-ups on the climate issue, why not come at it from a different perspective? Why not focus on challenges such as pollution, waste, regenerative agriculture and fuel security? The effective resolution of all will involve something of a technological revolution, with the possibility of many new jobs, and of global leadership while contributing significantly to our emissions reduction objectives.
